The best set we ever had I think was for “Shirley Valentine”, the brilliant play by Willy Russell. In the first act, we had a working kitchen, which was used during the course of the show to actually cook some egg and chips.
The only problem with this was that the set was so realistic, and the smell of the egg and chips so inviting that it actually upstaged the action of the play.
“Are they actually cooking the chips.”
“Oooh yes. I can smell them.”
“So can I.”
“Look – there’s steam coming of the chip pan.”
“Oooh. I feel a bit hungry.”
“I could fair go some egg and chips.”
It never happens in Hamlet.
